Drove to work, parked it and seconds later the engine went haywire. Turned it off right away and checked the engine later at lunch. The pulley for the water pump has actually came off the shaft to the water pump and was dangling on the drive belt.
I tapped it back into place, seemed very tight. Drove it home (about 8 miles) and checked under the hood, the pulley had moved forward about .25 inches from where I had it positioned.
Clearly I am missing something in terms of tightening the pulley. There are four bolts on a circular plate on the front of the pulley. Do I tighten these to in turn tighten the pulley onto the shaft? The shaft has no threading of any kind. Either i'm missing some part which holds it in place or these bolts are what need to be tightened.
I know this seems like a silly question but I just don't know the solution myself. Thanks for any help you could provide!
